Kyle slightly squinted his eyes after hearing Anthony's words. “Meet soon? When?”
“You'll know when the time comes.”
“You are always leaving me in suspense...” Kyle muttered, suddenly furrowing his brows as a thought struck him. “Wait. Are you planning to return to the headquarter for training?” he asked.
“We might need to wait a bit longer on this matter,” Anthony said.
“Hey, if you keep waiting, you'll be past the age for it!” Kyle said.
“I know, but I still need some time to work on my mom,” Anthony said.
Kyle moistened his lips, he knew that Anthony was a person who valued family above all else, especially his mother, who held an extraordinary significance to him.
With this in mind, Kyle didn't press further. Sometimes, career was indeed important, but compared to the most important person by one's side, it would be insignificant.
“Alright, you can arrange this matter yourself. It's fine whether you choose to train or not as it won't affect your status in Darknetz. It's just that, it could be beneficial for your personal safety and future development,” Kyle said. “Even if you can't catch up with this batch, it's not a big deal. Worst comes to worst, we'll have Thalia train you personally.”
Err...
This statement indeed aligned so well with what Thalia said.
However, at this moment, Anthony didn't say anything. After all, no matter how well a plan was made, it was still just a plan. He had no control over the things that might happen in the future.
Even though he was very eager, none of it mattered compared to Natasha.
“By the way, there's something else I want to ask you,” Kyle suddenly said.
Anthony snapped back from his thoughts. “What?”
“When did you become so close with Shadow Seeker?” Kyle asked.
Huh, what does this mean?
This unexpected question left Anthony somewhat at a loss for a response.
“Today, Shadow Seeker passed a message to me through Thalia,” Kyle suddenly spoke up.
Upon hearing the sound, Anthony asked, “What?”
“What do you mean by that? You don't know?” Kyle retorted.
“If I knew, would I still need to ask you?” Anthony said.
Kyle moistened his lips. “He said, if I treat you well, then there would be no more Shadow Seeker in this world. But if I don't treat you well, then he would definitely become my greatest enemy.”
Upon hearing this, Anthony was slightly taken aback. “When was this said?”
“It was just today,” Kyle said, somewhat reluctantly. “If I remember correctly, you two met through me. When did you become so close?” he asked.
What Kyle said didn't really register with Anthony. At this moment, all he could think about were the words spoken by Natasha.
Indeed, only Nat would speak and act in such a way.
My heart is brimming with happiness.
“Anthony, I'm talking to you!” Kyle suddenly called out to him.
Anthony snapped back to reality, looked at his phone and said, “What do you mean? We were introduced to each other by you?”
“Isn't that right? Wasn't it me who introduced you guys during your last competition?” Kyle said.
“That's what you think.”
“What does it mean?”
“What I mean is, we've known each other for much longer and are far more familiar with each other than you think,” Anthony said.
Kyle listened to him furrowed his brows. “So, the two of you have been putting on a show for me?”
“Well, it's not exactly like that... It's a bit complicated to explain in a few words. Just do as he says, or trust me, he will do whatever it takes to make you pay,” Anthony said, a hint of pride playing at the corners of his mouth.
“People just say things, you shouldn't take it so seriously,” Kyle said. “Since you two are so close, and so familiar with each other, why don't you bring him into Darknetz?”
“Don't you understand what he said?” Anthony asked.
“Money? I am not short of that. Let's trade for something else,” said Anthony.
“Something else? What?” Kyle asked.
After some thought, Anthony asked directly, “Have you figured out what to do about my sister's situation?”
Speaking of which, Kyle paused. “I am still thinking about it.”
“How about we trade with this?” Anthony asked.
“Anthony Watson, you really never miss a trick!” Kyle said, looking at him.
With a light chuckle, Anthony asked, “So, does this mean you've agreed?”
“How about I take Denise as my goddaughter?” Kyle asked directly, “This way, she would be considered part of Darknetz, which would be easier to explain.”
Upon hearing the suggestion, Anthony responded harshly, “Scram—”
“Hey, what do you mean? It's not possible?” Kyle asked.
“I consider you a friend, and a brother. But you taking my sister as your goddaughter is clearly taking advantage of me and Benjamin,” Anthony said, emphasizing each word.
Moreover, the age difference between them isn't that big. Hence, this man taking Denise as a goddaughter is indeed a bit too much.
Speaking of which, Kyle paused slightly. “Uh, I didn't expect you two...”
“Hmph.” Anthony scoffed, clearly unconvinced.
“So, what about taking he as my godsister?” Kyle asked.
“My sister lacks nothing...”
“Anthony, even without this relationship, Denise is just like a sister to me. In the future, she will have the entire Darknetz as her backing. No matter what trouble she encounters, there will never be short of people standing behind her,” Kyle directly stated.
“Moreover, I really do need to provide an explanation.”
He had made thing clear. Anthony's eyebrows furrowed slightly. “I need to discuss this matter with Denise.”
